Office Lighting Charlotte

Office lighting constantly needs maintenance to keep working . The reason for this is that most offices in Charlotte and around the country use florescent lighting as their main source . Florescent lighting consists of a ballast and lamp's . The lighting ballast is a transformer that transforms the voltage to a very high output. These ballasts have a shelf life and burnout just like light bulbs . Many times large sections will all go out together .

Many times customers will have us come out and replace whole sections of florescent lighting that have gone out . Florescent lighting is all put in at one time when the building is constructed . So it logically makes sense that many times large sections of lighting will all go out within a month or two of each other . Instead of paying for multiple service calls , to replace ballasts as they go out . It is far more economical to have us come out one time and replace 10 or 15 light ballasts or 100 .

The Best Office Lighting Available Today

The optimal source of light for an office would not be florescent at all . I would like to make it perfectly clear that the only reason why florescent lighting is employed is for energy efficiency , not because it is the best lighting available . The best lighting sources available are incandescent lightbulbs . If you can incorporate incandescent bulbs into your lighting design then more power to you . I can tell you that a new building will never have incandescent Incorporated because of the electrical laws that are currently being used in our country . However after you own the building it is yours to do with as you please . Incorporating some metal halide recessed lighting , which is highly energy-efficient but has the same sunlight output potential as incandescent is a great option . Metal halide bulbs are new technology like xenon lightbulbs . Both xenon and metal halide are highly energy-efficient and put out all of the colors of the rainbow like incandescent lightbulbs do . However because they are the best of both worlds they are much more expensive to install and maintain . But if you can afford the best or people are suffering from health or motivational issues and thus is worth the investment , then these are the best lighting sources available today .
